I have a ...

What? Creating a new new isn't useful to you, either?
Microsoft...after over 15 years of GUI OSs I would expect better from you. Guess I'm just insane to keep buying your software time after time and expecting different results.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with Windows Vista. From day one I've had problems using Windows Explorer to navigate the contents. Anytime I double-click on the drive it tells me to format the disc and asks for the disc label even if there is content on ...

I upgraded my laptop hard drive from 160GB to 200GB. In the process I was left with a chunk of 40GB of unallocated space. For the past 4 months I've ignored this space because Windows Vista's built-in partition manager couldn't do anything with it due to Dell's crazy ...

So was I. Luckily there is a handy configuration option that tells TinyMCE to leave your code alone:
verify_html : false
